Sa’ar backs right-wing government — if Netanyahu doesn’t lead it

New Hope’s Gideon Sa’ar says there are only two options for the next government, from his perspective.

The first is a right-wing government — if it’s not led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he tells reporters in the Knesset.

The second is a power-sharing unity government composed of centrist, right, and left-wing parties, Sa’ar says.

But, he adds that his party cannot be “forced to enter a government that isn’t based on our values.”

His party declined to endorse any candidate for prime minister during yesterday’s consultations with the president.
